About this report

CIRA developed Canada’s Internet Factbook through an online survey conducted by The Strategic Counsel. The purpose of CIRA’s research is to identify trends in Canadian internet use. A total of n=1,200 adult Canadian internet users (18+) were surveyed in March 2017, and the sample is proportionate-to-population for age, region and gender. Additional data was taken from the UN’s International Telecommunications Union (ITU), Mlab and global domain industry statistics from Zook, CENTR and ntldstats.com.
